Cardiac & Vascular Framework Library
Hemodynamic assessment, circulatory physiology, perfusion state recognition, shock logic, and cardiovascular treatment reasoning — from initial evaluation through escalating management.
Review-Stage Library
The Cardiac & Vascular framework library is in active review. Core assessment, physiology, integrated work, and treatment documents have been developed and are being refined alongside the Respiratory library, with the Oxygen Transport bridge document connecting the two.
Library Components
Cardiac & Vascular Assessment Framework
Structured approach to hemodynamic evaluation — cardiac output, perfusion state, vascular tone, and clinical prioritization of circulatory compromise.
Cardiac & Vascular Physiology & Mechanism
Physiologic foundations for understanding cardiac output determinants, perfusion failure mechanisms, shock physiology, and vascular compensatory patterns.
Integrated Cardiac/Vascular Work Document
Integrating assessment findings into physiologic interpretation, perfusion state recognition, and shock differentiation for cardiovascular presentations.
Cardiac & Vascular Treatment Framework
Organized treatment logic connecting hemodynamic recognition to prioritized management — including fluid strategy, vasopressors, antidysrhythmics, and interventional escalation.
How It Fits
The Cardiac & Vascular library builds on the Patient Assessment core framework and connects to the Oxygen Transport / Tissue Oxygenation bridge document, which links cardiovascular and respiratory reasoning through the physiology of oxygen delivery. It also feeds into the Phylux Assess encounter structure.
